TOY GUN.

Application led November To @ZZ 107mm t may concern:

Be it known that l, KALMAN Keines, a citizen ot Hungary7 residing atManbar, in the county orF Logan and State ot llVest Virginia, haveinvented new and useful Iniprovements in Toy Guns, oit which thetollowing` is a specieation.

This invention relates to toys and contemplates the provision ot adevice tor shooting projectiles, the device being' very simple inconstruction so that it can be manufactured and sold at a very normalcost.

More specifically stated7 the invention iircludes a body portion havinga longitudinal bore in which operates a spring pressed plunger forshooting projectiles' from the body portion, the bore being; lined witha metallic sleeve which projects a slight distance beyond one end of thebody and turned outwardly against said end to protect this end ot thebody from being mutilated or injured in any way whatsoever.

In the drawings forming part ot this application, like numerals ofreference indicate similar partsv in the several views, and whereinFigure l is a side elevation ot the toy.

Figure 2 is a longitudinal sectional View therethrough.

Figure 3 is an end elevation.

Figure l is a transverse sectional View.

Figure 5 is a detail view of the sleeve.

Referring to the drawings in detail, l() indicates the body of the toywhich is preterably constructed from wood and provided with alongitudinal bore 1l. peratinein the bore is a plunger 12 including1 arod 13, the latter projecting` beyond one end of the body portion andequipped with a handle 14. Carried by the rod 13, and disposed adjacentone end ot the handle is a washer ot Vrubber or other relatively sottmaterial7 which is adapted to contact the end ot the body portion whenthe plunger is released trom a retracted position, thereby eliminatingnoise which would otherwise occur from the impact of the handle againstthe body portion. The bore l1 is lined for a portion of its' length witha metallic sleeve 15, the

a projectile inserted in the sleeve above re- Yterred to and theprojectile is shot from the toy incident to the release ot the plungerfrom a retracted position. A spring 19 surrounds the plunger rod andoperates to torcibly move the plunger in one direction, this springbeingv eoi'npressed when the plunger is retracted. The toy is not onlysimple in construction, but consists ot Very few parts which are soarranged that it can not be easily broken or impaired.

While it is believed'that trom the 'foregoingdescription, the nature andadvantages ot the invention will be readily apparent, l desire to haveit understood that l do not limit myselt' to what herein shown anddescribed and tiat` such chan` es may be resorted to when desired tallwithin the scope ot what is claimed.

laying' thus described my invention. l claim:

A toy or' the character described comprisingr a body portion havingvliat bottom, sides and a curved top2 and a longitudinal bore opening atone end. a metallic sleeve linine` said bore throughout its entirelength, the :forward edge ot said sleeve being' slotted to provide aplurality of bendable portions which increase in width toward theirouter ends. said ends being adapted to be bent outwardly against theadjacent end ot the body portion to protect the latter, a spring pressedplunger operating within the sleevea a rod connected with the plungerand slidable through the other end of the body portion, and spacedsights rising from the curved top and arranged one at one end and theother at a point between the ends of 'said top for the purposespecilied.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.

KALMAN KOVACS.
